ASTM Vinyl Fence Testing

Our vinyl fence meets the strict standards of the ASTM

ASTM F964-13 is considered the “end all, be all” testing specification for Vinyl fence. The purpose of this specification is to establish a recognized standard of quality for exterior Vinyl profiles for use in assembling agricultural, commercial, and residential fencing and railing. Vinyl fence manufactured by Direct Fence Distributors located in Carlstadt NJ passes the ASTM vinyl fence test.

Materials & Manufacturing Process

Direct Fence Distributors products are manufactured using Rigid Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) compounds for exterior-profile extrusions that meet the requirements of ASTM Specification D4216

Color/Consistency Testing – The PVC compound in extruded section shall maintain uniform color and be free of any visual surface or structural changes, such as peeling, chipping, cracking, flaking, or pitting after weathering at intervals of six months and one year for white and for six months, one year, and two years for all other colors in hot, dry climate such as Phoenix, AZ; a hot humid climate, such as Miami, FL; and a temperate northern climate, when tested in accordance with ASTM Performance Weathering Requirements.

Weathering Testing – The PVC compound shall have a minimum impact resistance of 0.6 in.-lb/ mil (2670 J/m) after weathering six months and one year in a hot, dry climate such as Phoenix, AZ; a hot, humid climate, such as Miami, FL; and a temperate northern climate, when tested in accordance with ASTM Performance Weathering Requirements. The PVC compound shall have successfully met the weathering requirements prescribed for six months at each climatic testing site prior to use in production of exterior-profile extrusions, when tested in accordance with ASTM Performance Weathering

Miami Dade County Approved Product

It is our belief that in order to protect fences, you must arm them with the most powerful defense mechanism available.

Select vinyl fence styles can sustain gusts up to 130 MPH for as long as 30-40 seconds. The Miami-Dade 75 MPH certification states that when properly installed, approved styles of vinyl fencing can withstand sustained 75 MPH winds.
